Confirmed on WinXP, too. Works fine in Opera 10.7 and Google Chrome 7.

The problem is that they're serving the WebM files as application/octet-stream, which we'll reuse to play:

~% curl -I http://people.opera.com/patrickl/experiments/webm/videos/garden1.webm
[...]
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Making this work would require fixing bug 567077, which we're not sure if we want to do.
